Nutanix NCP-MCA Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

To create and execute a scaling action using Calm, the administrator should create the action under the service profile section of the blueprint and the application profile section of the blueprint. The service profile section defines the properties and actions of each service in the blueprint, such as the VM configuration, the scripts to run, and the scaling parameters. The application profile section defines the properties and actions of the entire application, such as the number of instances, the dependencies, and the scaling triggers. The administrator can then execute the scaling action in the Overview tab or the Services tab of the application, depending on the scope of the scaling action. References:

The correct method to result in unique names per VM when scaling out a Service in a Calm Blueprint is to use the macro variable @@{calm_array_index}@@ in the Service VM Name field (Option B). This variable will append a unique index number to each VM name based on the scale-out count. For example, if the Service VM Name is MyAppVM-@@{calm_array_index}@@ and the scale-out count is 3, the resulting VM names will be MyAppVM-0, MyAppVM-1, and MyAppVM-2. Option A is incorrect because the tag in the sysprep file will only affect the hostname of the guest OS, not the VM name in the cloud provider. Option C is incorrect because calling an external Python eScript to register the VM name in DNS will not change the VM name in the cloud provider either. Option D is incorrect because setting the VM Name field to allow user edits at launch will require manual input from the user for each VM, which is not scalable or automated.

The port 5986 is used for PowerShell Remoting over HTTPS, which is a secure way of executing PowerShell commands on a remote Windows VM. Calm uses PowerShell Remoting to run scripts on Windows VMs as part of the blueprint actions. Therefore, the port 5986 needs to be opened on the VM firewall to allow the communication between Calm and the VM. The other ports are not related to PowerShell Remoting, as they are used for SQL Server (1433), Remote Desktop Protocol (3389), and PowerShell Remoting over HTTP (5985). References: Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) 6.5 Exam Blueprint Guide, page 10; Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA), section 3; Nutanix Calm User Guide, page 93.
